MarkC Posted December 15, 2009 Author Share Posted December 15, 2009 thanks for that compliment, but brother, i spent 3 xxxx days on one rose. if you were crazy enough to spend 3 days on 1 rose, i'm sure you'd far exceed my lil flower.

MarkC Posted December 15, 2009 Author Share Posted December 15, 2009 (edited) Wayne, it's just one one-piece, rolled style, like from the "how-to's" on the Anvilfire site. Edited December 15, 2009 by MarkC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Francis Trez Cole Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 If you stuff a piece of felt at the bottom od the center and place a few drops of rose oil that is a nice effect. For some reason women smell them. very nice work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 Nice rose Marc. Forging a rose or any flower in the manner you chose is likely to take many times as long as cutting petals and fixing them to a stem which is a fine way of making flowers. Doesn't matter how long it took, it's lovely. I can't take credit for the rose oil idea, it's been posted here many times, probably where you remember reading it, I just repeated it because it hadn't come up yet. Well done Brother, she'll love it. Frosty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junksmith Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 Chicks DIG roses! Much to the chagrin of my wife! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fat pete Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 I gotta say the roses at the corner store ... just one at a time... works wonders the one you made is very cool nice imagination....just make sure the petals that can be touched are soft feeling...they always put them to their noses and inherantly rub the petal on their lips...that spot gotta feel good to them....I was told this when I was way young ...I employed the tactic for many years and believe me it works! I am married (happily) now and it still works for what ails ya Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njanvilman Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 Another idea is to incorporate the flower into a desk lamp. I made a rose with an extra long stem, then wrapped it like a vine up a textured(with MIG and hammer) pipe. Wire to light ran inside the pipe. Even made my own shade. One of my favorite projects. Pictures if I ever figure out how to post them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
